A division of specialized clones trained in a deep undercover program run by Dr. Royce Hemlock, the Clone X troopers, or CX troopers, are a group of mysterious and formidable assassins and shadow warriors. Activated one at a time to avoid detection, their identifying codes have been wiped and their identities erased. They’re conditioned for one mission alone: to hunt down and eliminate any potential threat to the Empire.

Clone Commander Wolffe (clone designation CC-3636) once served under General Plo Koon in the Clone Wars, as commander of the tight-knit unit known as the Wolf Pack. A seasoned and battered combatant, over the three years of the conflict Wolffe witnessed some of the worst the war had to offer. Early in the Clone Wars, he lost his entire command when Master Plo's flagship, Triumphant, was destroyed by the cyborg General Grievous. Despite such tragedy, he fought on bravely, proudly brandishing his battle scars and instilling loyalty among his men. But after the Empire takes hold, Wolffe is among the good soldiers who now follow the orders of Emperor Palpatine above all others.

They call themselves the Bad Batch. In the age of the Republic, the motley crew making up Clone Force 99 boasted an astounding 100 percent success rate and skills unseen in any other clone troopers. But with the end of the Clone Wars and the rise of the Empire, these soldiers have had to re-evaluate their place in the galaxy. Originally a four-member squad — Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, and Crosshair — the team has adapted over the years to welcome new clone members, including Echo and Omega. Those who remain continue to operate as a unit, using their unique talents to survive at a dangerous time.

Omega travels the galaxy with her brothers, Clone Force 99, as a formidable member of their squad. Before the Empire came to power, she served as a medical assistant to Nala Se on the clone's homeworld of Kamino, spending her life working in Tipoca City. Omega is herself a product of the Kaminoans cloning experimentation. Although skilled with her energy bow and other weapons, Omega now puts her curious mind and intelligence to use for the good of her found family and their very survival, relying on her strategic thinking and compassion as they eke out a new life for themselves in a changing galaxy.

Clone Commander Scorch understands the sensitive nature of the Empire's scientific studies. After one cloning experiment gets loose on the world of Silla, Scorch diligently assists his fellow soldiers to corral the panicked villagers and escort them off world. This ensures that the Empire remains fully in control of the situation. He primarily serves Dr. Royce Hemlock at the secret Mount Tantiss facility.

The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural, and Sheev Palpatine is the most infamous follower of its doctrines. Scheming, powerful, and evil to the core, Darth Sidious restored the Sith and destroyed the Jedi Order. Living a double life, he was also Palpatine, a Naboo Senator and phantom menace. He manipulated the political system of the Galactic Republic until he was named Supreme Chancellor -- and eventually Emperor – and ruled the galaxy through fear and tyranny. The galaxy rejoiced when he died at the Battle of Endor, but Sidious had cheated death and patiently plotted a return to power.
